11/30/11 – After being gone for six months I am happy to be back at work and look forward to continuing these reports. A female Green-winged Teal and six American Coots were on the lake. A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, some Golden-crowned Kinglets and some Cedar Waxwings were near the Civitan Shelter.
12/4 – Eastern Box Elder Bugs have been common this fall. I’m seeing quite a few on the Nature Center.
12/5 – A Brown Creeper (bird) was near the Nature Center. A Linden Looper was on the Civitan Shelter. This is one of the species of moths that can be found on warmer nights throughout the winter. They are attracted to lights.
12/7 – A new addition to the park has been a group of white Muscovy Ducks. They are not wild or native to the area.
12/8 – A male Bufflehead (duck) was on the lake. I included a poor photo.
